It was approaching evening, in Situ Jing's room in the inner courtyard of the county government office.
"This is for you!"
As Yuan Yuan spoke, he placed something wrapped in cloth in front of Situ Jing.
"Mrs. Chai, what is this?" Situ Jing was very curious.
Xiao Huan on the side also came over, looking left and right.
Yuanyuan smiled and said: "Xiaohuan, open it quickly and show it to your lady, see if she likes it."
Xiaohuan was very excited. She wanted to open it just now, but Mrs. Chai and Miss Chai didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to move.
Xiao Huan quickly untied the cloth bag. When the wavy silver box inside appeared in front of her eyes, Xiao Huan immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, what a beautiful silver box!"
Situ Jing is also a person who recognizes goods. She can tell at a glance that the silver box is exquisitely made and is a valuable item.
"Mrs. Chai, I can't accept such a valuable thing!" Situ Jing refused.
Yuan said: "It doesn't matter, I just won this and it didn't cost a penny!"
"Won it back?" Situ Jing said in surprise: "Mrs. Chai, didn't you go to the Jinyan Tower for a banquet? How come you started gambling?"
Xiaohuan had no intention of listening to them and couldn't move his eyes away from the silver box.
When Yuan Yuan heard what Situ Jing said, he immediately became happy: "Who said we were gambling, but we won the quiz after attending the banquet!"
"Q&A?" Situ Jing looked confused.
Xiaohuan was also attracted by these four words, and couldn't help but ask: "Mrs. Chai, what is the wisdom quiz?"
Yuan Yuan immediately told the two of them the process of the quiz, and also gave them the previous questions.
After burning the incense, Yuan asked all the questions he had answered again...
What surprised Yuan Yuan was that, except for those a few arithmetic questions, the rest of the questions were basically answered correctly, especially the questions from one to nine, Situ Jing almost blurted out the questions, and they were accurate!
"Situ Jing, you are so awesome!" Yuan expressed sincere admiration.
On the other hand, Xiaohuan is considered completely autistic.
"What's wrong, Xiaohuan?" Yuan asked.
Xiaohuan raised her head and said with a frustrated look: "Mrs. Chai, I didn't know I was so stupid before. I can't even answer a question. I'm so useless..."
While talking, Xiaohuan almost cried.
Situ Jing hurriedly comforted: "Silly girl, there is nothing to be sad about. You just need to read more and you can answer it. You are not stupider than others!"
Xiao Huan immediately became anxious, pouted and said: "Then... then Miss, you still call me a stupid girl!"
"Uh..." Situ Jing's expression froze, and then he laughed with a "puff" sound.
Yuan also found it interesting, and he also laughed. Xiaohuan instantly blushed and puffed up his cheeks.
After a while, Situ Jing stopped laughing: "Okay, okay, stop laughing..."
"Mrs. Chai, this silver box was won by Master Chai and you. How dare I accept it? I think you should keep it for your own use!" Situ Jing said.
Yuan said: "If I don't need it, I'll give it to you. Didn't your jewelry box break in the pawn shop last time? I just need this!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaohuan nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss, it's very inconvenient not to have a jewelry box..."
"But......."
Situ Jing still wanted to refuse, so Yuan Yuan pretended to be unhappy and said, "No, I'll just accept it if I ask you to accept it!"
There was no other way, so Situ Jing had no choice but to agree to accept it. When Xiaohuan saw that the young lady had agreed, she immediately beamed and seemed happier than anyone else.
"Miss, I'm going to put some jewelry on and see if it works..."
After that, Xiaohuan happily ran to work while holding the silver box.
After a while, Xiaohuan turned around and shouted: "Miss, it's just right, all the jewelry is put in..."
After saying that, Xiaohuan went back and busied himself with packing up.
Situ Jing was quite speechless, shook her head helplessly, and said: "You are such a big man, and you still act like a child..."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said: "What does it matter? Isn't this good..."
Suddenly, Situ Jing asked: "By the way, Mrs. Chai, didn't you say you won three prizes? What are the other two?"
"Oh, look at me, I was so focused on talking about the topic that I forgot all about this..."
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Yuan told Situ Jing that the other two items were purple gemstones and dragon meat.
"Purple gem?" Situ Jing exclaimed with a strange look on his face: "I have never seen a purple gem before!"
Xiaohuan came over holding the silver box containing the jewelry: "What, Miss, what did you say about the purple gemstone just now?"
Hearing Situ Jing say that he had never seen a purple gemstone, Yuan Yuan took off a cloth bag from his waist, then turned the bag over and poured out a piece of purple crystal.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Xiaohuan's eyes lit up and she was stunned for a moment.
Situ Jing felt that Xiao Huan was too impressed, so she quickly patted her, and Xiao Huan calmed down her expression, but she still couldn't take her eyes away from the purple gemstone.
Next, the three girls admired the purple gemstone together.
Feeling that this was boring, Yuan Yuan copied Chai Yan's words about the purple gem, which made Situ Jing and Xiao Huan marvel in surprise.
Situ Jing said in admiration: "Mrs. Chai, Mr. Chai knows so much. It turns out there is so much knowledge in it!"
Xiaohuan also nodded repeatedly.
Chai Yan was praised by others, and Yuan Yuan felt very happy and proud. He couldn't restrain his mood for a moment, and said with a little pride: "I can't figure out where he knew these weird things...
"
After seeing enough purple gems, Situ Jing asked about the dragon meat.
Yuan Yuan told Situ Jing that Chai Yan sold the plate of dragon meat to a young man named Shaer Zidan before it was even heated.
"Sold?" Situ Jing felt pity when he heard it.
As far as she knew, the meat of the falcon was very valuable and was very useful for treating asthma, coughs and diabetes.
Xiaohuan was more concerned about another question: "Mrs. Chai, how much money did Mr. Chai sell to that person?"
Yuan Yuan said in a calm tone: "One thousand taels."
"One thousand taels!" "One thousand taels?"
Situ Jing and Xiao Huan exclaimed in unison.
"Yes, it's one thousand taels, the bank note was given in person..." Yuan Yuan nodded.
Xiaohuan exclaimed: "So dragon meat is so valuable!"
The three of them chatted for a while about selling dragon meat, and then the topic shifted to Cheng Jiu.
When Yuanyuan told them that Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun were teased with bugs, Xiaohuan immediately got angry and cursed the Youlong clan members as despicable and evil!
Situ Jing was secretly worried about the wound on Cheng Jiu's back. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he said to Xiaohuan, "Xiaohuan, go over and ask if the wound on his back is okay..."
"I understand, miss." Xiaohuan agreed and left the room.
In less than a cup of tea, Xiaohuan hurried back and said after entering the house: "Miss, Guan Maochun is in the house, but Brother Cheng is not. I asked the others and they all said they didn't know where they were...
